Could whiter teeth lead to better relationships and job growth?

According to Match.com, teeth are the number one standard by which both men and women judge their potential dating partners, ahead of other dating dealbreakers like bad grammar, hair or clothes.

Kelton Research also found that 58% of applicants are more likely to be offered a job and 53% offered a raise if their teeth are whiter! Clearly the benefits of whiter teeth are more than just cosmetic.

Sugar Fix Dental Loft Chicago - And if you're looking for something done by the pros, Dr. Jessica Emery, founder of Sugar Fix Dental Loft has created a new 'pore service' to whiten teeth. "Your teeth do actually have 'pores', little openings on the surface professionals call tubules," Emery explained. "This is why teeth yellow and get dark because stains get trapped in leaving your smile looking dull. By creating this new service, we are able to pull unwanted stains off the surface of teeth, similar to how a pore strip works." This hour service is $99 with a professional cleaning, $285 without.

Happy whitening!
